    Tips

    Lac de Bretaye is a peaceful high-altitude lake nestled at 1,800 meters in the Vaud Alps. Surrounded by meadows and gentle peaks, it's an ideal spot for a quiet break, a picnic, or simply admiring the scenery. Easily accessible from Villars-sur-Ollon on foot or by cogwheel train, it offers a beautiful interlude in the heart of the mountains.
